A PECULIAR soAReLE.
Great Excitement Caused by the Body o
an Ancient Roman Lady.

| Great Excitement Caused by the Body of
an Ancient Roman Lady.
A Roman coffin containing the skele-
ton of lady was dug up at Plumstead
lately on spot which appears to have
been Roman cemetery. The disposal
of the interestings relics gave rise TO
some difficulty. The vicar of the par
ish, who does not appear to be an en-
thusiastic antiquarian, caused the re-
mains to be buried in the parish church
yard. This disposition of the relics
was objected to by the owner of the
land on which they were found, and
was also protested against by repre-
sentative of the Kent Archaeological
society. The county coroner also COM
planned of the remains being disposed
of without his authority, while virtu-
ally in his charge, and, as the cof-
fin is in some respects unique and
in remarkable preservation, the an
tiquarians intend to make strenu-
Gus efforts for its recovery. The Lato
Jowrna, marks on these preten-
sions: "The CLAIMS of the coroner that
the remains were in his charge was
altogether inadmissible. The coroner
has no general control over dead
bodies, but only when there is reason
able suspicion of death by extraordin-
ary causes, and his jurisdiction being
practical, and not historical, does not
extend to the investigation of tho de-
cease of persons dying some fourteen
hundred years ago. The claim of the
proprietor to the body was equally
without foundation. Not only is n
dead body incapable of being the sub
ject of property, but to disintcr, from
whatever motive, dead body from
consccrated or unconsecrated ground
is misdemeanor at common law. Tho
disintermc 1t in this instance was acci-
dental, but none the less breach of
that respectful treatment of buried
body which the law requires, and the
least that the discoverer of the body
could do was to re-inter it. Different
considerations apply to the coffin,
which is the subject Of property; but
although so many centuries have elaps-
ed since the death of the lady, the
right of property in the coffin vested in
her representatives has never been
abandoned. Even If the owner of the
soil has any right of property in the
coffin, it is only as trustee for the pur-
pose to which it was obviously devoted
namely, the reception of that body.
He would be relieved from this trust
only by the impossibility of finding any
one entitled to assert it. Whether the
vicar of the parish has any rights or
duties in the matter is doubtful. He
has duties toward the bodies buried in
his church-yard, and he is bound TO
bury all baptized persons; but to insist
on the reinterment in the church-yard
of body buried for centuries seems in
excess OF his power. The proper course
is TO apply to the Home Secretary for
license to remove the remains. -

WHOSE WIFE IS SHE?
A Case Involving the Marriage and
Divorce Laws of Three Countries.

From the Ne1 York Sun.
KINGSTON, n. Y, April 1S.-A compli-
Gated case of matrimonial alliance has been
brought to light through hearing before
Judge Parker in Supreme Court Chambers,
on Saturday last. The case came up III
an action for divorce brought by William
H. Stewart against Annie Stewart. 1t in
wolves many fine points as to the marriage
and divorce laws of three CONTRASTING
land, Canada and the United States. The
facts are as follows:
On Feb. 49, 1876, Annie Towers, buxom
English maiden of 20, was married to
Charles Tate at the parish church i'll the
parish of St Johns, marlborough, county
an action for divorce against her husband
on the ground of adultery. On May 5,
1879, an order was entered, STIMULATING,
among other things, 'that the marriage be
dissolved unless sufficient cause be shown to
the court why the said decree should
not be made absolute within six
months from the making thereof" Before
the expiration of the six months the plaintiff
came to the United States, and drifted to
this city, where she was slightly acquainted.
Here she became acquainted with Stewart,
and they were married on July 2, 1879
Before the marriage she informed him
of her marital relations in England and the
were under the impression that the Tate
marriage was dissolved. A final order IN
the English divorce was entered in
January, $780, After Stewart lived
with the woman for two years and
two children were born to them,
some doubt arose as to the English divorce
proceeding. She requested Stewart to have
the marriage ceremony performed over, but
this he refused to do They then separated,
and have not lived together since. Soon
after the separation Mrs Stewart went to
the province of Ontario Can, and on Sept.
20, 1884, she married one Isaac AYES at
Southampton in that province, and has
since lived with him. Her Canadian hus-
band at present lives in Stratford Ont,
and is a wealthy stock raiser. He also was
made aware of her peculiar matrimonial
alliances.
Stewart has brought his action for divorce
in the Supreme Court of this State for adul-
terry on account of the defendants relations
with AYES in Canada. The defendant in
her answer admits all the facts as regards
the marriage and divorce proceedings in
England, but alleges that she had not in
fact been divorced from Tate at the time of
her marriage to Stewart, and that at the
time she married Stewart she was the wife
of Charles Tate, who was still living. She
therefore denies any adultery with AYES,
and asks for dismissal of the complaint
and that Judgment enter declaring her mar
riage contract with Stewart void.
The leading question submitted to the
court to determine is whether the second or
der entered in the English court dissolved
the marriage on Sept. 5, 1879, which was
six months after the first order was entered,
or whether the second order simply gave
effect to the first order, and the marriage
was dissolved when the first order was en-
tered At all events it places the fair de
